  "abstract": "We suggest the possibility of a linear magnetochiral effect in time reversal breaking Weyl semimetals. Generically the magnetochiral effect consists in a simultaneous linear dependence of the magnetotransport coefficients with the magnetic field and a momentum vector. This simultaneous dependence is allowed by the Onsager reciprocity relations, being the separation vector between the Weyl nodes the vector that plays such role. As a side consequence, we find a non vanishing positive longitudinal magnetoconductivity at Fermi energies above the point where the chirality of the Weyl nodes is globally lost.",
